The pledge of allegiance in school should be optional. It would be a lot more meaningful if a person stands and repeats the words because they genuinely agree with it and feel America is living up to those ideals, not because people will nag them about being “traitors” when there are so many different reasons a person would decide not to do it than treason.

Sorry but I have no reason to bind myself into an oath to a country that is in the process of taking away my right to serve in the military because of their outdated prejudice against the kind of person I am. I’m not standing for that kind of b******* anymore. You have a problem with it, ain’t nothing you can do about it, go back to kissing the asses of the two parties who continue to kick you in yours’ year after year after year.

Take some notes CIA.
